I hate working out. I always feel guilty when I go to the doctor and she asks me about how much exercise I get. Usually, I have to look at floor and admit the truth – not enough. I know that's horrible, but when I do work out, it always feels like I am torturing myself. Sometimes I even pause and think ‘Why am I doing this?' And then I remember how I would look if I didn't.
The gym has never been a place I frequent; I find it kind of boring and intimidating. Boring because I usually end up doing the same thing (my fault) and intimidating because there are so many pieces of equipment that I have no idea how to work (they honestly look like medieval torture devices to me).

What I DO like are the classes. Why? Because in a class I am told what to do, I do it, I sweat my butt off, and then I leave. Perfect! When I found a deal for 10 fitness classes, I thought it would be a great way for me to work out and maybe not hate my life while I was doing it.

Creative Motion Chicago, the studio offering the fitness class package, has an overall aim to get participants moving in a fun and inspiring way. The goal of the classes is to get more than just a workout, but to improve your mind and your body through exercise. They offer a variety of classes in different disciplines – such as Zumba, Pilates, and Yoga – in an effort to keep your workouts interesting.
I went to as many different classes as I could, and enjoyed all of them! I always left super sweaty and feeling great about my workout. The studio, located on Montrose Ave, was spacious and bright with windows along the side and mirrors across the front. There also was no gym equipment in sight! From the dance classes (which got my heart pumping), to the sculpting classes (which were killer – so sore the next day), to the Barre classes (which incorporated ballet techniques), I always had a good time and got the exercise my body needed. If you are looking for a different way to workout and group fitness classes are your vibe, I suggest you check out Creative Motion. You won't regret it!
